SUMMARY
Synchronizing two inverters of different brands, specifically a 3,000 watt and a 5,000 watt model, to supply a single breaker panel is not feasible without significant modifications. The inverters must be internally modified to align their cycles and maintain the same phase. Additionally, differing switching algorithms and output waveforms between the units can lead to short circuits if run in parallel. For split phase breaker panels, each inverter can potentially feed a side without modification, but the maximum output for 220V appliances will be limited to the lower wattage inverter, which is 3,000 watts.
